I have filed the following bug:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=2783049&group_id=105970
and included test cases and the binary where you can reproduce how light is
broken on the COM VB6 WiX output from Heat from version 3.0.4923 to
3.0.5224.
Please let me know if I can be of any help at all.
